When Planning goes out of the Window!

I’ve always prided myself on being a very organised individual.  I like to plan ahead because I hate last minute rushes.  And with so many planning and time management tools at my disposal, there really is no excuse for me to fall back on, or to explain the situation I find myself in.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been working on some quite involved projects (both mine and for clients), and have quite simply lost track of time.  Today is Thursday but it feels like Tuesday!  I’ve fallen behind with my writing timetable and seem to have been playing catch-up all this week.

Don’t get me wrong – it’s lovely to be busy.  But the first twinges of overwhelm are telling me something isn’t right.

Perhaps it’s because I haven’t reached optimal working speed after the leisurely pace of the summer break?  Maybe I got a bit lazy in the planning department?

There really is no point in further analysing how I arrived at this stage.  What matters now is getting back on track and meeting those looming deadlines.... one step at a time.
